The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is an innovative tilting bridge for pedestrians and cyclists that has been connecting the Quaysides of Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne over the River Tyne since 2001. Designed by WilkinsonEyre and Gifford, it is the first bridge in the world to fully tilt to allow shipping passage, earning it the nickname "Blinking Eye Bridge." The bridge rotates to a 40° angle in just 4.5 minutes, allowing vessels up to 25 meters high to pass. At 126 meters long and weighing 850 tons, it is an engineering feat that forms part of the area's urban redevelopment and is an internationally acclaimed icon of modern British bridge building.

The Willington Dene Viaduct is a historic railway viaduct in Wallsend. It was built between 1837 and 1839. Originally, it consisted of seven wooden arches, constructed using the Wiebeking system of laminated timber—an innovative technique at the time. In 1869, these were replaced by wrought iron arches, retaining the original design. The viaduct is 319 metres long and 25 metres high, and spans the valley of the Wallsend Burn with seven segmental arches. It has been a Grade II listed building since 1986 and is still used by the Tyne and Wear Metro.

Once known as Hartley Haven, the village was renamed in the 17th century after the construction of a pier and sluice, designed to facilitate the movement of ships in the port. There are numerous pubs and cafés overlooking the harbour where you can rest tired legs.

Great views of Willington Dene aqueduct.

The causeway and lighthouse are closed form the end of June until September 2024, due to refirbishment.

A classic view of a local icon, it could do with a coat of paint though.
